…Because the next generation of building is restorative .

1. East Halls Green Redesign Solved Problem After assessing customer needs our team decided that our design would be focused on environment impact. High efficiency would also play a key role in the overall design of the buildings. To achieve these goals our design will contain green, energy efficient applications. Implementing a roof garden would help to utilize water runoff. Over more, the implementation of solar panels and awnings for the windows would greatly reduce the energy usage of the building. Small devices will be installed in every room in order to display and monitor the energy usage. These additions and much more will be used in the redesign of East Halls to make environmental impact minimal and the Penn State community more sustainable. After the last few decades, in direct relation with industrial development, the environment has been negatively affected. The environment does not have a voice of its own, and for this reason it is in our hands as living intellect to establish a more stable and sustainable community. In order to contribute to environmental relief, the Green Dorm Project was developed. The development and the re-conceptualization of the halls will better the Penn State community and set a standard for other universities to come. The new Penn State East Halls renovation is a green step in the right direction for our world.
